Kapitel 47: Mocking Me
Walking into The Tribune my phone starts to ring. I dig into my purse to find my phone, through the gum wrappers and change I finally found it. Looking at the caller ID a smile forms on my face, it’s Alexander.
“Hey who’s that?” Lyra asked as she signs her name on the sheet.
“Alexander.” I tell her. She stares at me with googly eyes while making kissy noises with her mouth.
“Get out of here.” I tell her while pushing her towards the basement.
“Fine, bye.” She waves me off and heads down to the basement.
Once she’s gone, I answer the phone. “Hello.”
“Hey after your done working do you want to hang out?” He asked.
“Yeah, we can hang out. We have to be at my house, because once I leave it’s going to be dark.” I say while signing my name on the sign-up sheet. Putting down the pen I walk through the glass double doors to the elevator.
“Inviting me to your house, so soon.” He said over the phone in a flirty voice. I laugh at his comment while readjusting my purse as I wait for the elevator to come down.
“Whatever. See you at 7:00 bye.” Hanging up the phone the elevator finally comes down and I head on in. Before I’m able to press the elevator to the 5th floor I hear someone screaming for me to hold the elevator.
I hold the sides of the doors. I wait for the person to come on the elevator, hoping on the elevator I see that it’s Lyle.
“Hey, you alright?” I asked him as he looked all disoriented.
“Fine. I just had to drop my sister off at her friend's house, then all my stuff dropped out of my bag in the parking lot.”
“Dang, you had a day.” Pressing the button, we head up to the fifth floor.
“I just want to get this work done so I can go home.” He responded back letting out a breath I’m sure he’s been holding on to.
The elevator opens up to the fifth floor and we head on in the office. As we open the doors a bunch of people are walking around frantically.
“What’s going on here?” I asked Lyle. He looks at me quizzically letting me know he has no idea.
Our boss, Ms. Timmons walks up to us with papers in her hands. “Look someone just spotted a werewolf on the side of the road by the restaurant Bangs. There’s video footage of the whole things happening.” She said winded.
“A werewolf? Those aren’t real.” Lyle tells her.
“Turns out they are. I’m as shocked as you are. I need the both of you to clear out his whole area for tomorrow. We are having an interview with the guy who sent in the story, we will be the first newspaper to break the story this will be big for us.” She points to area in the corner that has a lot of boxes and stuff in the way. That’s going to take us a while.
“This day gets better and better.” Lyle tells me while sitting his bag on the ground.
We walk over to the various items that are in the room and start to move them out. There’s a bunch of boxes, old machines and various Knick knacks in here.
“When I walking into the building, I tried to call your name, but you didn’t answer.” He grunts out me as he lifts a box and moves it outside the room. I thought I heard someone calling my name in the lobby, but I just thought I was hearing things. You ever think you hear someone call your name and it’s just the wind? That’s what I thought it was, the wind.
“Sorry, I was on the phone. If I heard you, I would have talked to you.” I say reassuring him that I’m not rude or anything.
“I get it. So, who were you on the phone with?” He asked curiously out the corner of his eye. I pick up a sign that says ‘the bomb’ and move it out the room. Weird things in here for a News paper station.
“It was Alexander. The guy you met yesterday at the diner.” He stares at me weirdly until he makes a face letting me know he remembers who he is.
“Oh yeah, the guy who scolded me the whole time and works out every day.” He said mocking Alexander’s voice. I laugh at his rendition of his voice.
“Yep, that’s him. I’m sorry that he was so rude yesterday. He likes me and you know how you guys came be.” I speak.
“Protective. Dominant.” He says finishing up my sentence. "All the characteristics of a werewolf."
“Right.” I take a break and lean up against one of the boxes. He also takes a break with me. “He’s really a nice guy... Truly.” I add on.
“You don’t have to convince me. I would be protective over you to.” His eyes scan over my face.
“And I would be protective over you to.” I say mocking his voice. He rolls his eyes at me and picks up a couple signs behind him.
“Come on let’s get this over with so I can go home and eat. I’m starving.” We both get up and began moving stuff again.
1 Hour later...
After moving 30 boxes, 10 signs and various items we were finally done. We look towards the door to see Ms. Timmons walking in, her facial expression is of a shocked person. Did she not think that we could move all that stuff?
“I honestly didn’t think that you guys would move all this stuff in a short time. Good Job, you can go on home now.” She gives us two thumbs up and walks out the door down the hall.
We both grab our bags and head to the elevator. Me, Lyle and a couple others pile up in the elevator down to the 1st floor.
Once the elevator open, we all scatter out into our own directions. Me and Lyle both head in the same direction.
“What is on the agenda tonight for Ms. Worthingshire?” Lyle asked saying my last name in a British voice.
“Well, I’m hanging with Alexander tonight.” I reply back to him.
“Well, when you see him tell him I said hi. See you next week.” He sets me on the back and heads into the dark parking lot. Over to my right I see Lyra walking up to me.
“Ready to go?” I ask her.
“Totally, I’m so tired.” She leans her head on my shoulder as we walk out the door.
“Me too.”
